In a recent article on economics in “The Nation’s Business”, Foster and Catchings, say: “Profit-making was maintained and developed by American statesmen and legislators, with the approval of economists, because these men believed that profitmaking by manufacturers, traders and financiers was the most effective way of increasing national wealth.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes only in profits which accrue from service. This Company is in business to serve its patrons, and through this service to earn an adequate profit for the stockholders whose money nas made the industry possible. Profit is the life-blood of industry, but the profit taken must be an exact return for the service rendered . Profiteering is abhorrent to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in serving gasoline and oils is rendering a fundamental service, not only to immediate patrons, but to everyone in the Middle West The progress of tne community depends upon these products. Without them, farmers could not produce sufficient food-stuffs, nor could industry produce sufficient clothing, shelter, light heat and other necessities of life. The providing of gasoline and oils can be accomplished only by specialists. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), in particular, has developed through years of effort an organization of specialists, men who know their jobs from the ground up, and who think of these jobs primarily as a service. These men are experts. No matter what demand may be made upon them, in the line of their work, they are equal to the emergency. Such a body of employes, organized under expert direction, such as obtains in this Company, is a valuable asset to the community. While man is constituted as he is today, the incentive to action will always be a reward of some sort. And profit, when it is the result of honest, useful service, undertaken for a fair ana agreed return, is the most powerful incentive. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the last man, is in business first and foremost to render service. It is to the interest of this Company to sell gasoline and oils as cheaply as possible, that they may be within reach of all. For only by sales on a mighty scale can this Company continue to succeed Standard Oil Company (Indiana ) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So. Michigan Avenue, Chicago
